where the F%@# do i get these rivets? Reply #4 – April 19, 2007, 01:56:31 PM Make sure you use lock nuts.They're cheap and it's worth it so you won't have to get in there and re-tighten nuts and bolts evry so often. Quote Selected
where the F%@# do i get these rivets? Reply #5 – April 19, 2007, 02:22:58 PM you could always add some locktite too. Just for good measure. Oh and about those rivets those aren't like the ones you buy. They are a facotry deal where a machine stamps them into place and forms those niffty little heads on them. At least that is what I've been told. I bet you should be able to get some big headed one you just might have to order them. I'll look at work. Quote Selected
